“A Wonderful Day Tour of Kochi and Backwater”

2/12/2016

We booked this tour several months in advance, and all went quite well. My group was greeted with flower leis and a big smile from the tour guides; we we picked up on time, saw all that was on the agenda, and returned on time. We could not have asked for a better arrangement and tour program. Highly recommended.

“Kerala Backwaters Tour”

15/11/2016

0 Comments

 
We took this tour as a shore excursion from the Cochin cruise port. There were only 12 in our group on a minibus for the ride out to the backwaters. It was a scenic and interesting ride through the villages and countryside to the houseboat. The houseboat cruise gave us an up-close look at the daily life along the backwaters. We saw fishermen, women washing clothes in the river, construction and renovations in progress, children playing, and people going through their day. The food provided was tasty and the houseboat was very well maintained. On our way back to the port we stopped to see the Chinese fishing nets and St. Francis Church in Cochin. Our guide was excellent and we very much enjoyed our day.

“A wonderful backwater experience in Kochi”

A group of 12 of us booked Carnival Tours for our visit in Cochin when our ship RCCL Ovation of the Seas docked on June 1 and June 2. The booking process is smooth. Peter answered all my questions and was good in accommodating our flip flop changes of the number of people in the group. On the day of our tour, Cresbin (our tour guide) and Baisll (our tour driver) met us at the port. We were driven to Kerala for the back water cruise. Along the way, Cresbin give us some information on the culture of the country. The house boat cruise in the back water was fantastic. We had excellent Indian cuisine on board of the boat. The cool breeze made it quite pleasant in a hot weather environment. The next day we had the city tour of Cochin. Cresbin took us to a laundry plant where we saw how the local people does laundry for the public. It's quite and experience. A few of us in the group were quite happy shopping and bargaining. Cresbin was quite patient with us. Would definitely recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Cochin. The only suggestion we have is for Cresbin to get a portable microphone, especially for a tour group of seniors. Keep up the good work and your smile, Cresbin. You made our tour a pleasant one.

“Allepey Backwater Houseboat tour with lunch”

17/6/2016

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. From initial booking, disembarkation at cruise terminal, right through the tour, this was first class organisation. A small group of 14 with tour guide and driver initially in a very comfortable bus to the Backwaters. The transfer to the houseboat was seamless and the 3 hours spent cruising very slowly through the backwaters and villages was fantastic. This insight in to local life as it is was fascinating and very informative. In addition the lunch provided on board was fantastic

“HOUSEBOAT TOUR COCHIN INDIA”

This was an excellent tour and we really enjoyed it. We were with a small private group and Peter picked us up from the cruise port. We drove for a while and it was a comfortable drive in a comfortable airconditioned van. Then we transferred to the houseboat which was lovely. There was some lovely furniture in the covered back part and there were 2 bedrooms on board both with ensuites. There were 2 people who cooked a very nice meal for us and we really enjoyed it.

I can highly recommend Carnival Tours Cochin (or Kochin). They are very good.

“A Perfect Day In Kochi”

“A Perfect Day In Kochi”

Reviewed 1 October 2015 We could not be happier with our decision to book the Backwater Cruise with Peter at Carnival Tours. Many from our ship booked the ship tour and ended up on a boat with plastic chairs lined up on a double deck boat. Four of us relaxed on a beautiful boat with teak deck and lovely interior. Food was prepared and served as we enjoyed the beautiful water. We watched the people wash their clothes in the water and paddle down the river for their food. We highly recommend Carnival Tours and especialy the private or small cruise which was much less than the cruise ship tour. Can't say enough for Peter who stayed on top of our booking. He was wonderful and so was his staff. This tour is suitable for everyone.

“Excellent local tour company.”

We were a group of 6 seniors who engaged Carnival tours for a two day tour in Cochin (Kochi). Our pre-tour communication with Peter Dalgleish was very good. His replies to our emails - questions & concerns - in the planning phase of the tour were prompt. He met us at the port with our guide, Tommy and our driver.
Day 1 consisted of a houseboat tour of Alleppy (also known as Alapphuza) in Kerala. We toured a lake and had lunch aboard the houseboat. The tour was extremely leisurely & relaxing; lunch was hygienically prepared and tasty. The crew on the houseboat were very obliging. Though we did a day tour, one can arrange to stay on board overnight or for as many nights as you require. The bedrooms and bathrooms, while not of 4 or 5 star luxury are still quite modern, clean & comfortable. The kitchens are more than adequate and the number of bedrooms will depend on the size of the houseboat. We were initially concerned about eating away from our hotels or our cruise ship (berthed at the port of Kochi) but we did NOT suffer any gastric repercussions! Peter had previously assured us that there would be no problems. Tommy provided an excellent geographical & historical commentary of what we were seeing and answered all questions. 
Day 2 involved a tour around Cochin – walking & driving - to see the sights and attractions there. Once again Tommy took good care of us. He is extremely obliging and knowledgeable.
The two days were interesting and quite leisurely. Just remember Cochin is a ‘country’ town and like most of India is a developing third world country. The cities & towns may not be as clean & luxurious as you may be used to and poverty is a way of life. But that is why we travel – to experience things that are different from those we are used to. We were looked after very well by Tommy, the driver & Carnival Tours.
We can highly recommend Carnival Tours in Cochin.
